Release Notes

Method Pro Services Updates - August 3, 2011

Converting Estimates to Budget / Contracts

  • A new Estimate screen (tab-link) added to create Estimates and quickly convert them to Budget / Contracts.

Budget / Contacts

  • New feature to load templates (described in detail below).
  • Platform update now ensures budget lines with decimal values will display when creating an invoice from a Budget / Contact.
  • Update to actions on ‘select’ to call another action set from the summary section to update summary values on first click rather than several clicks of ‘select’.

Budget / Contact Templates

  • A new feature added to the Budget / Contracts screen to select from a list of pre-defined templates or frequently used group of Budget / Contract lines. The new screen is ‘ProService_BudgetTemplates’.

Activities

  • Updates to ensure contact name and phone are populated if that data exists.
  • Modified and added on-screen load actions to accommodate for new Activities created from the Customer List screen. Prior to this update, the New Activity button was not calling the proper screen.

Time Tracking

  • Update when clicking ‘select’ the Time Tracking record will display if the screen was accessed via the Dashboard.
  • Update to basic math actions on all Saves to ensure small amounts of Time will flow through the action results as intended and not round.

Invoices

  • The Invoice screen updated to reflect recent changes to the new standard Invoice screen from Method. Some of the changes include; a fresh cosmetic look and email notifications feature. This does not accommodate the new shared lists feature yet.

Customer List

  • Update to the ‘New Activity...’ button under the Activities section to call the Pro Services version of the Activity screen.

Received Payments

  • The Receive Payments tab-link was removed from the App to be consistent with the new CRM approach. This tab-link was referencing the original Method screen that still appears under the ‘QuickBooks’ tab groups.

The Save and Email button on the standard Pro Services Invoice screen does not work.  The email notification shows at the top of the screen and indicates 0 emails sent.  I go straight to Customer Center-Invoice, select the invoice and Save and Email and it emails fine.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the note. I will be testing this again. In the future, it’s best to keep posting any possible issues on the forums.
